IK Multimedia released the TONEX One Double Special, a limited edition version of its compact amp and effects pedal, on March 6, 2026. The pedal carries 20 tone models taken from two vintage Dumble Overdrive Special amps held in the company's private amp vault, which Guitar World values at a combined $300,000¹.

The two amps come from different eras. One is a 1978 model, serial #0038, from what Guitar World calls the "Export era," described as delivering an open top end, blooming mids and piano-like cleans. The other is a 1980 model nicknamed "The Don," serial #0080, described as having a tighter low end, faster transient response and greater articulation when the gain is cranked¹. Guitar World reports the amps were captured with and without cabinets across a range of settings, and that some tone models pair them with a gold Klon Centaur, a JHS Morning Glory and a TS-10. IK Multimedia used period-specific cabs for the project¹. The tone models are exclusive to the pedal, and Guitar World reports that 1,000 units are being made¹.

The pedal is priced at $249.99¹. Buying it unlocks the tones from the Double Special TONEX Signature Collection and IK's ODS Legends Signature Collection software, which Guitar World describes as six Dumble amps in total¹. The Double Special TONEX Signature Collection software package adds 40 new premium tone models and is priced at $149.99, or $99.99 for existing TONEX hardware users¹.

The standard TONEX One is an ultra-compact pedal that stores up to 20 Tone Models and 30 presets, with 24 bit/192 kHz converters, a 5 Hz to 24 kHz frequency response, up to 123 dB dynamic range, a built-in tuner, cabinet bypass and a USB audio interface. It measures 48 mm (1.89") by 94 mm (3.7") by 53 mm (2.09") and weighs 160 g (5.6 oz), and runs on 9V DC at 120 mA or over USB C². No US price for the standard model appears in the material.

Guitar World reports the Double Special's tones are inspired by players including Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton and Stevie Ray Vaughan¹.
